I have known Walt since 1998, he was a Supervisor when I got to Burbank, we got to know each other better when we got a new boss in 1999, DD, (Diane Mangels) the three of us would go out to lunch from time and just talk about life.... it was there that he would grin and say to DD & I... "ok, go ahead ask", (because he knew we were very curious and we wanted to know everything, and he was very private) so we would, we would ask him many questions, about his wife, kids and home life. And he would share...it was at these lunches that we learned about his love for his faith and his family. At these lunches we laughed and giggled like old pals. I also remember that during those early years, any B-BQ's we had at Burbank, we would have Walt do the grilling. Then Walt left to pursue other endeavors, Camarillo, the RO and then SCT, he would come and have lunch with DD and I and we would sit at Sharky's for hours just catching up.
Ah, yes, those were the good times. Fond memories that will never be forgotten...
I know one of the highlights in his life was the wedding of his daughter Kristie.... he beamed with such joy, pride and adoration. Burbank personnel is deeply saddened and just stunned. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jennie, Kelly, Kristie, Ryan & Casey and the entire Fuller Family.

Walt was one of the most sincere and dedicated people I've ever worked with in the FAA. Walt always gave his best and treated people with love and respect. Prayers for his family, Walt you will be missed, yet remembered as a Godly Man.

I did not have the pleasure of meeting Chuck, but I've been lucky to have been friends with his fiance Andrea for years. I know what a remarkable man he must have been to have made my friend so happy. I am sure he will be missed by all who knew him as well as by those who simply knew of him and the happiness he brought to Andrea and the lives of the ones we love. Thank you Chuck.
